Benfica vs Tondela Prediction 4 June 2020

The twenty-fifth round of the Primera League is marked by a match between Benfica and Tondela. Can the hosts prove their advantage in class?

While Benfica's first round went smoothly and without disruption, after unconvincing games against Porto (2:3), Braga (0:1), Gil Vicente (1:0), Moreirense (1:1) and Setubal (1:1) they lost their confident leadership. Now the Eagles are on the second place - in total they earned 59 points, together with a difference of goals 52:14.

The results of the modest Tondela are much worse - the fourteenth position, 25 points and 20:30 goals. It seems that the Canaries are close to rescue from relegation, since their gap from the relegation zone is nine points. Draws 0:0 with Maritimo and 1:1 with Boavista, as well as failures 0:1 from Santa Clara, 1:2 from Rio Ave and 0:2 from Guimaraes are the previous results of the Yellow Greens.

I think that the lockdown will benefit Benfica, and they will again return to the path of confident victories. It is unlikely that Tondela, who are poorly performing away from home, will create a sensation here - they will be happy to avoid defeat.
